I Adore Pet Rocks

by Kelly - Be A Fun Mum | January 2, 2012

I love pet rocks. A lot. Sure, I do the activity for the kids but I secretly want to make one for myself too. They are easy to make and are really so adorable. A pet rock can be given as a gift, made for best friends (one for each friend), used as a paper weight, placed on a shelf for decoration (make an entire family of pet rocks), as part of an imaginative play scene or to play with.

Kelly loves life at both ends of the spectrum: wearing high heel shoes one day and hiking boots the next; sipping tea out of a pretty cup and slurping hot coffee from a camping mug; challenging herself physically and stopping for quiet unhurried moments to feel the wind on her face. Kelly and her husband Matthew seek to live a fun and adventurous life with their four children and pet bird.

I ADORE that picture book. Even as I read the line you quoted, I had goosebumps ALL OVER ME. Such fabulous words. You just want to do it!! And the illustrations … I’m a pet rock lover too. Have been forever.

They are painted and outlined with black marker pen. Mind you they are very faded now. I’ve posted a pic of them up on twitter for you (@gardening4kids). From the left there is a grumpy man, a grandma and a cat. The poor cat is the one who is really suffering – you can’t really tell what it is lol!
